Overview

• Christopher Bell seized the lead on a late restart on fresh tires and held off Brad Keselowski to win the Bass Pro Shops Night Race.
• Season-high 14 cautions and severe right-side degradation repeatedly flipped strategies, with Goodyear having provided an extra set of tires for the weekend.
• Ty Gibbs led 201 laps before missing pit road from the lead on lap 436, recovering only to 10th at the finish.
• Pit-road missteps proved costly: Austin Dillon’s early speeding penalty effectively ended his Round of 16 run, Kyle Larson and William Byron were also flagged for speeding, and Denny Hamlin’s loose wheel and other penalties could trigger crew suspensions pending NASCAR’s report.
• Joe Gibbs Racing completed a sweep of the Round of 16, and the Round of 12 begins at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sept. 21.
